It is supposed that the whole number in the city will probably reach 40000. The result is considered on all hands to be ex- 1 tremely doubtful. The accounts of the first and second day's vo tings in some of the River counties between New ‘ U » . 11C York and Albany were said to favorable to the Whigs—but it is all guess-work.

The Washington Chronicle, the organ of the lalhoun Loco Focos, at the seat of Government i i, as many of your readers know, the old United | dates Telegraph under a new name, it having \ heady taken several besides, such as the Reform- ' r, the Merchant, &e., &c.

Some facts have been disclosed re jecting a late financial movement in the Chero ec country. An agent of the Bank of the Uni •d Slates—“ Biddle’s monster,” was sent to the Iherokeecountry, with one million of dollars, in fiddle’s bank notes—to defray tho expenses of ic Indian emigration, hij the express arrange- i tent of the War Department, The money has i ccordingly, been so employed by express direr- i on of Mr. Secretary Poinsett, in lieu of tho I ic “ constitutional currency.” By invitation of | lat functionary, the bank has extended substau- i al aid to the Government; and the “.noxsTF.n” i this instance has triumphed over the “ party.” I What will Mr. Calhoun, and his clique think ' f this kind of “ divorce"—this practical com- 1 icntary on their “specie clause”—this irrefraga- 1 Ic proof that the Sub-Treasury is not in opera- 1 on. I The following communication should have ap- 1 eared in time for our last week’s country paper, at was overlooked. It contains sound and sensi !c views in relation to the project of direct im ortation. Mu. Junks. —l looked with groat anxiety to ic proceedings of the late Commercial Convon- 1 on, held in Augusta, hoping that something J light bo done which might advance the cause f direct importations. 1 have seen nothing (al- ‘ lough I object to nothing that has been done,) ilculated in my humble conception to further the 1 rent enterprise. It is true the Convention has o power to enforce its recommendations nor 1 light it to have any, yet such measures might 1 e proposed as would at once strike at the root of 1 ic evil, which has not as yet been done. The 1 xtension of railroads throughout the south and 1 ■nilhwcst, thereby increasing and accelerating ie intercourse between the important productive notions of our country and the seaports, will only ■ivc the effect of increasing the trade of our own eaports without promoting in the least, direct i rnportations. Railroads would certainly be tre icndous auxiliaries in fostering and enlarging a - trade once it was established. But of j iicmselvcs, they will never bring it into existence. Many have been the speculations as to the causes f our foreign trade centering at the north. But lothing is clearer than that the war of 1812, was lie prime cause. A reference to (he history ommcrcc antecedent to that period _ his to be true. The northern people prior to that irisis were strictly a commercial people; but the capital embarked in that pursuit being thrown rom its moorings by that event, and an increased lernand existing for domestic, manufactures, it ,vas absorbed by this latter channel, and has con inued in it, producing an entire revolution in >ur commerce. The coarse goods that were before received rom England, were from that time manufactured it the north. The south at once exchanged her aw material for these manufactures, and hence he origin of our domestic trade which is now so arge. The merchants of the south, soon found it o their advantage to travel to tho north for their lomestic supplies, thereby avoiding tho advance if the merchants at our own seaports. This rade naturally drew along with it, the trade in importing goods, and here is the secret of all our foreign trade centering in the northern ports. The larilT and banking facilities, to which has been attributed by some as the cause, was made subsi diary to tho retention of what had already been obtained. Thus it is plain where exists tlui foun dation of the evil, and what must be donHo re medy it. It is a universally admitted moral and physical philosophy, that so long as' the cause continues so long will the effect be felt, and in order to mitigate tho effect wc must arrest the cause. Now nothing is more susceptible of demonstration than the fart, that so long as our merchants find it to be their interest to go to | northern ports to purchase domestic goods, just so long will our trade remain as it is. We must j make it tho interest of our merchants to patronize | our own ports which can only be done by pre- ! I spilling to the imvchnser domestic fabrics nearly as cheap at Charleston, ns at New Vork. Trading companies of merchants might be established, having agencies in our seaports for the spec'al purpose of procuring domestic manufactures. 1 am not so sure hut that it would he to the inte rest of the merchants of our seaports, to act mere ly as agents in regard to this species of goods. The present loss would be more than compen sated by the ultimate gain, should it he the means ol securing to their respective cities the import and export trade of the south. I noticed a reso lution offered by some one of tin; Convention of Twenty-one, to report as to the best practicable means of securing to our own ports the patron age of our own merchants. A resolution hy-the -1 ye, which had neither sense nor nonsense in it a perfect nondescript, for so I had imagined that the Convention met for the purpose of pointing out the best practicable means of bringing about a direct trade, which matter was already before the committee according to the resolution under which it was appointed. The committee say in summing up their report in the form of reso lutions, that the extension of railroads will be the most certain means of reviving a direct trade. I can readily imagine the whole trade of (he south to be turned to her own ports, and still bs no di rect trade with Europe. Railroads arc intended to convey quickly and cheaply goods and passen gers from one point to another, and if their exis tence can enable the merchants of the interior, southern and western states, to bring their goods home more expeditiously, and at less cost from New Vork, than they now do—they will just be the means of fixing the trade of the country more firmly where it nowis. The demand for domestic goods is increasing which makes it more the in terest of country merchants to buy as near the manufuctury as possible, and the capital which is now invested in the importing business being so closely interwoven, with that invested in the domestic trade, that the holders will ho enabled to retain the one while they do the other. No man need ever expert to see a flourishing direct trade until some means arc adopted to bring the price of domestic fabrics in southern cities, nearly down to what they are in northern cities. No man feels a greater anxiety for the success of the project which has been so auspiciously begun than I do, for I verily believe if it once was suc cessful, wo as a people would at. once bo relieved from all tire exactions of federal tyranny, and at tacks of vile incendiaries, who have been enabled by filching from our industry to appear in the at titude of enemies. The above remarks are writ ten in haste, but if they arc worth perusal by your readers, you can insert it your columns. R. E. IS. Wooilville, Abbeville District, -S. C. Our readers will remember how earnestly some of the Van Uuren papers in this State, attempted just previous to (he election, to prove that the Whigs of the North were Abolitionists, and by attempting to show that the State Rights party here coincided with the wings there, to saddle upon us the sin of co-operating with abolitionism. It. will also ho remembered, that we denied that the abolitionists belonged to either party at the North exclusively. The events of every day arc confirming what we said, and proving that there arc as many and as violent abolitionists among the self-styled democrats as among the Whigs. Dr. Duncan the Van Eureu representative in Congress from the Cincinnati District in Ohio, is a great man in the eyes of our Southern Demo crats. Ifcis their lighting fowl in the House, of whom they boasted that he had frightened Wise out of his senses, as well ashalfthc Whigs in Con. gress, and whose undelivered speech in reply to Mr. Hand was extolled as the greatest production of the age. In a word he is considered by the Standard of Union and Constitutionalist as a per fect model of democracy with whom the people of the South should go heart ara) hand. Just prior to Jhc. lute election in Ohio, the Doctor finding that he was about, to be beaten, addressed a'seeret let ter to the abolitionists giving his views upon slavery The abolitionists all voted for him and he, thereby saver! his election by 176 voles. They were able to command just about enough votes to turn the scale in his favor. The letter was kept secret except among the fanatics until after the. election, when a copy of it fell into the, hands of some whig who had it published. The following is an extract from it, to which we invite the attention of our readers. —We especially ask a perusal of it by the editors of the two papers above men tioned. “There is no man living, perhaps, who is more deadly hostile to slavery than I am. My feelings —my education—the circumstances that have surrounded me through life, together with my principles of what 1 believe to constitute the na tural and political rights of man—all conspire to make me abhor it as one of the greatest evils that exists on the face of the earth. Yes, greater in its moral clients and corrupting tendencies, than all other human evils put together. It is not only a moral and political evil within itself, or intrin sically so of the darkest and most damning char acter, but in all its bearings and effects calculated to produce the most fatal effects on botljthe moral and political institutions of our country It isan evil that has, does now, and will in lime to come while it exists, involve in it, as well in its present possession as in its future operations, crime, fraud, theft, robbery, murder, and death. “ For the truth of what I say as to its present effects upon the institutions of our country, I have only to refer you to a view of the slave states, in our Union, and a comparison between the re lative condition of the improvements of them and the free states. You see the free states happy and flourishing, to the admiration and astonish ment of all who see them.—Public improvements and private prosperity arc swift and head in the rac», while on the other hand poverty, lean and ; hungry, sterility, and squalid wretchedness, seem t° eover the face ol the land, in many parts where slave institutions have a residence. Cross the line that separates the tree from the slave states, or stand upon it and look across the former, you will see comparatively nil life, all happiness, all prosperity, both public and private, but turn your eyes over the latter and survey it: every thing material, (except a few of the wealthy pro prietors) hearing the impress of poverty and dila pidation ; nil looks ns if pestilence and famine had been making their sad innovation. The an ger ol God and the vengeance of Heaven seem to rest upon every thing upon which you can cast your eyes. Every prospect seems tube withered and willed by the frown and disapprobation of avenging justice and violated humanity. In short, almost every institution, every prosperity, public ami private, seems to he sickening and dying from the corrupting and corroding effects of slavery. Hut the curse he on the head of those who sustain such an institution.” At a meeting of the citizens of Augusta, held on Saturday last, to take into consideration the propriety of increasing the number of delegates ' Horn this county to the Stale Commercial ( ,'onven -1 tion, His Honor the Mayor, was called to the chair, and Win.

Resolved, That in accordance w ith this opinion, the delegates from the city of Augusta, he in instructed to insist that, upon all questions on which there may he a division in the Convention, each county shall he, allowed to vote the same number of votes, and no more, than such county is allowed in the Senatorial and Representative branches of the State.

She had not been long in her situation ere it was discovered she was encienlr. Upon being challenged on the subject she denied that she was so, with much feeling and earnestness.

Two persons were then directed to watch ' her which they did all Sunday night until yester day morning when they fell asleep. The girl, ' whose name is Anna li’Aschcr, seized this op portunity to make her escape, which she effected almost in a state of nudity. Nothing since has been heard of her, and it is feared that she pro ceeded to the river and threw herself in from one of the wharfs.

An inquest was held and a verdict returned according to the cir cumstances. —A’. F. Times. Alabama against (In; Sub-Treasury !

What the object of its visit was, is not known—or where from. But it was suHicient cause for hostilities, that its course was from Her 1 Majesty’s dominions, and towards our shore. The innocent emigrant was doomed to a barbarous re ception. Instead of meeting friends in tins land of freedom, that would guide it to its native woods, and let it range on its harmless career, dangers awaited it worse even than a stay in the realm of a monarch that is surrounded by disaffection and 1 revolt. The deer was captured—hut not by the yan- * kcos.— Brother Jonathan had no hand in that out- 1 rage upon the native of a neighboring power—at- ' though it might he charged upon him with equal 1 propriety as the occupancy of Navy Island. Both 1 expeditions were set on foot upon our shore. In this instance, however, the war was carried on by a young Frenchman and his servant, who put all . 1 in the boat, chatting to trust the fortune of a naval * nation, rather than the unequal chance of a elmse in the field. As the boat neared the deer, and the Frenchman began to prepare for action, the strug- ' gling adventurer, already nearly exhausted by its ell'orts against the tide of the river, began to beg for quarter most piteously. It saw its impending ( fate—the boat glided swiftly upon the bosom of , | the waters—the foe was approaching—retreat was ( hazardous—logo forward was death-—and in this 1 hopeless, helpless, and defenceless condition— 11 “The big round tears Uoursod one another down his innocent nose In piteous chase.” Here was a scene—(he Frenchman*# heart he gan to relent—he could not strike the, fatal blow or pull the deadly trigger—hut still, how could he s forego the fine saddle of venison that was pictured f in his imagination. His appetite demanded the I sacrifice, while his sympathies eschewed the bar barons deed. He turned his hack upon his in- ' tended victim, and cried to his servant to do the 1 work of death. The order was obeyed, the vie i tnrv was won. and the trophy towed ashore. I Tnr.
